We're Facebook pals.
He goes by "Joseph Darrel Cason" on Facebook. I just noticed that he spells Darrel with only one "L".
From our Facebook exchanges and one or two phone calls that we've had, it is apparent that he was particularly fond of the late Lynn Nystrom, as it appears everyone who knew Lynn was. Darrel's been very complimentary about you as well.
That's great news! Tell him I said hello. Yes, everybody got along great with Lynn Nystrom. He and I were really good friends, ever since the 1981 Railfair at the grand opening of the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento. We talked about every other week, and my wife still exchanges Christmas cards with Mary Nystrom. It was a big shock when Lynn passed, as we had talked the day before about his possible retirement, since I had already retired. We sure had some great times and runs together on both 844 and 3985. I really mis him.
